CLASSIC MATCH...

Liverpool 4 Arsenal 4, April 2009 - A stunning four-goal haul by Andrey Arshavin delivered a killer blow to Liverpool’s title ambitions in a thriller at Anfield in 2009. The result saw Liverpool top the Premier League on goal difference with eventual-winners Manchester United, who had two games in hand with a total of seven to play before the end of the season. Yossi Benayoun and Fernando Torres scored two goals each to salvage a point for the Reds, but they ultimately fell short of United at the end of the season by four points.
